Very nice Mary Anne! I prefer this version too - it gives a sense of place - walking down a lonesome street/walkway. CJ

Very Well Done. I like this one better too.

Thank you for the comments. I'm terrible at making decisions and was hoping that you folks would be more in agreement about which version you preferred. So, I'll go with this one, which was my initial impulse...I think.

I like this one better, there's something not right about her look or walk in the pending one but it looks just right here.

I'm with your beautiful Pending version on this one Mary Anne. It better amplifies the mood of isolation and even adds some mystery. These peripheral details do an incomplete job of bringing the image back to mundane reality. -tv

I think the crop looks to clinical, prefer this version.I like the sepia tones of this picture- Debi

I like this not cropped. It think it adds necessary information. Penny Street

Many thanks Tom, Doug, YB, Rod, and Lee. Lee, I had considered cropping those sides off but thought that extra information helped the image. Here's the cropped version in Pending: http://www.pbase.com/image/106981965

Any feedback would be welcome.

Nice.

Just my opinion, but I would crop the top right and left out.

Interesting sense of barrenness/aloneness, amplified by her reflection.
